Here is an idea for recreating the book report! Don't delete this when you see contest...it is a contest, but it has some examples of alternate book reports and even a video of the gentleman that created this concept. Parts of his video would be a good motivation tool for kicking off the book report.. he challenges the students! Some of the examples are good exemplars with the strong, room to improve and not sufficient all represented.
"The Youth for Human Rights package is geared toward youth, but I find it is useful in teaching any age group who are learning about what human rights are - i.e. maybe they are young adults, but in terms of learning about human rights, they are just starting! It focuses very much on the UN Universal Declaration on Human Rights as the primary example. This package contains a booklet that has an abridged version on the Declaration with visuals matching the videos. It also contains the full, unabridged Declaration at the back. This package also contains the 30 Public Service Announcements depicting each article in the Declaration, as well as the UNITED music video and the "Story of Human Rights". Plus posters and a detailed curriculum guide. This one is the one I would recommend for anyone - from ages 6 -19.
